Lift blocks won't lift a Durango. They lower. Axle is on the spring and by putting the blocks on you just lowered your truck. Front is Torsion bar key. No kit is availaible any more. Tuff Country stoped production for the 98-99 because they suck. FST might still have some around.

you won't need a key to lift the front. you just need 8 turns. if you search there should be a few threads on it. for the back you'll need shackles to lift it up

You need shackles to lift the rear. Return the blocks you purchased. 8 turns gives you a little over two inches.
